TL;DR: In this article, the problem of optimal channel size distribution for arborescent (ramified, branched, tree-like) networks used as flow distributors or collectors is formulated as follows: find the distribution of channel radii that minimizes total viscous dissipation (or entropy production, pumping power, pressure drop) under constraints of uniform irrigation and of total volume of channels (or of average residence time).
